UAVs/drones for Equitable Climate Change Adaptation: Participatory Risk Management through Landslide and Debris Flow Monitoring in Mocoa, Colombia
Description
This project will deploy unmanned aerial vehicles in the Amazon piedmont of Colombia, in collaboration with activist and indigenous groups in and around the city of Mocoa. These UAVs will monitor the region for landslides, a growing risk in the area under conditions of heavy precipitation that is rising as a result of climate change. At the same time, the UAVs will collect data that can be used to direct loans through the micro-finance sector for agro-forestry businesses that preserve the Amazon as a source of income for local producers. This data will also be available to planning authorities and community organizations in Mocoa.
